Hotel, Schmotel

Chapter 2: Hotel, Schmotel
The Cunningham gang arrive at the hotel and get their keys. Mr. & Mrs. C will be sharing with Joanie; Richie, Potsie, & Ralph will be sharing; and Fonzie will get his own small one-bed room because he wants to remain an "only-child." They all head up to the 4th floor to find rooms 416, 417, and 418. They find 416 and help Mr.&Mrs. C unwind while Fonzie goes to find his room. The boys leave soon after only to find that their room is already unlocked.
"Hmm, strange. The maid must've forgotten to lock it this morning or something." Richie suggested.
What the guys saw next sent them into complete surprise. Laverne & Shirley was in THEIR room!
"Laverne? Shirley?" Richie called out to the girls.
"Oh hey Richie! What brings you here?" Laverne asked.
"My key."
"Huh? You must have the wrong room. This is room 417." Shirley announced.
"417?" Richie looked down at his key. "Yup, 417 it is."
"Now that cant be possible! This is OUR room!" Laverne said.
"Now, their must be some kind of mistake down at the front desk. Come on Potsie, lets go back down."
"Wait! Im coming with you!" Shirley yelled to them.
Richie, Potsie, and Shirley all headed down to the front-desk, leaving Ralph all alone with Laverne.
"So, Laverne. You work at the brewery eh? Hows about brewing us a couple of drinks. Whatdya say?"
Laverne, responding to his offer then punched him in the stomache.
"Ill take that as a no."
A few minutes later, the guys and Shirley arrived back into the room.
"Oh, Laverne its aweful!!! They DID mess up!! They had reserved the same room for both of us!"
"Aww. Well, thats fine. There are more rooms to get."
"Thats the thing! The hotel is COMPLETLY booked!"
"Booked? What are you kidding me?!"
"No, Laverne, they said down-front that their is a family-circus staying here, and they needed all the rooms! Oh, Laverne, what do we do?"
"Well, I guess we'll just have to share the room. There are 2 beds. Someone will just have to get the chair."
"Share beds?? Hahaha. Ill take the tough chick with the L on her shirt." Ralph said.
Laverne then pretended to attack Ralph, causing him to jump back and yell out a cry.
Everyone sat down and then came up with a plan. Laverne and Shirley would take one bed, Potsie and Richie would take one bed, and Ralph would take the chair-to which an idea Ralph was not satisfied with. His idea, in which he would share with Laverne & Shirley, was not well-liked with everyone else. When they finally all got un-packed, they got ready for bed and had to manage with the situation they were in.

The next morning, everyone got up and got ready for the eventful things that were to come within the day. Ralph, on the other hand woke up with a sore back and a stiff neck and had to be carried into the bathroom. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Richie went to go get it. It was his parents- who at the time had NO idea the guys were sharing a room with two older women!
"Oh hi Mom! Hi Dad! You remember Laverne & Shirley, right?"
"Oh yes! The dark-haired one is the one who knocked you out that night."
"Yeah, thats her Dad!."
"Umm, Richard, could we have a moment with you for just a second?"
"Well, sure Dad. Whats up?"
"Richard," Marion said cutting in, "you didnt tell us you were sharing a room with two girls!"
"Oh thats right Mom. Sorry, I forgot to tell you, but it was so late lastnite I didnt even think of it."
"Would you mind explaining, Richie?" Howard asked, expecting an answer.
"Well, you see, the front-desk reserved this room for BOTH of us, and the hotel is completly booked so we have to share the room with Laverne & Shirley."
"Oh well, if thats the case, Im sure its ok." Howard said relieved. "Well, Rich, we all got to be at the college in an hour, are you guys almost ready?"
"Oh yea, we'll meet you guys downstairs in about 5 minutes."
Howard and Marion then went downstairs to wait while the guys finished getting ready.
"Oh, gee, Richie, I hope I didnt get you into trouble." Shirley said, worried.
"Oh no! Everythings fine, I explained everything. Well, come on guys, the college fair starts soon and we gotta get breakfast."
Richie, Potsie and Ralph left for the day leaving the two girls to the room by themselves. They put on their shoes and went to go get ready to look for Fonzie. They had a date with him at the diner next door and could not wait.
